Masterpieces |
With my latest work I thought it would be interesting to ponder the duality of masterpieces. Throughout history there have been countless magnificent works created by talented artisans, but they are still only replicas, tributes to the flawless physiques that inspired them.
Masterpieces will be a part of my upcoming show in Provincetown, MA this summer. If you are interested in purchasing the original, please contact the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. Limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are available for purchase at the Special First Day Price through Midnight ET tomorrow.

The US Postal Service recently raised rates on packages. They've also eliminated the flat fee for a 1 pound priority package so the cost is now based on distance too. So I've
had to restructure my fees and methods for shipping. In some cases, such as orders consisting of just a few prints, I'll be shipping via First Class mail rather than Priority.
This may add one extra day to the ship-time, but will lower the shipping charge.

Looking to Score |
The winning title for my Name My Art contest is Looking to Score, submitted first by Jay W. from Phoenix Arizona. Jay will be receiving a signed limited edition studio print of the work.
I want to thank everyone who participated and sent in great suggestions. Unfortunately I can only pick one. But I must say, you guys came up with some clever ways of putting balls into the title!

You still have a chance to grab my 2010 calendar, and for a limited time I'm knocking 30% off the price. Who knows they may become a collectors item soon. My 2008 and 2009 calendars are currently available on Amazon.com, and each are selling for over $40!

My latest work needs a name, so I'm having a Name My Art Contest! Enter as many names as you would like. I'll then sift through all the entries anonymously and pick a winner who will receive a limited edition studio print of the work. In the case of multiple people suggesting the same winning name the winner will be the person whose email arrived first (and is spelled correctly so type carefully). The deadline for entries is Midnight on Saturday, January 16th, 2010. I will announce the winning name on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010.
Enter the contest! The contest is over. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, January 19th.
|
While the original and prints are immediately available for purchase, no orders containing this work will ship until after the contest ends. Also, the original is a part of my new show next summer and cannot be delivered until after my exhibit ends on July 22, 2010.
The Special First Day Price ends Midnight ET tomorrow.

Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays so far. We still have a New Year to ring in, and I have a calendar filled with gorgeous guys and cute couples so you can start it off right! Be one of the next few people to order and you'll get one of the signed and numbered copies (I only have 20 of those left!) All the signed and numbered copies have been sold, but still plenty of 2010 Calenders left!

In the Cards!
 |
If you're like me the start of a new year is a good time to clean out and organize. So, to help me do that, I'm offering my greeting cards at $1.95 each (regularly $3.25 each). This is a limited time offer and applies to orders of 12 or more cards. So stock up on next years Christmas cards or get a variety that you can use for occasions throughout the year!

My latest piece was inspired by the seemingly out-of-control disposible socieity we live in. Lately I find myself yearning for a simpler exisitence.

Limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are also available at the Special First Day Price through Midnight ET tomorrow.

Rapture |
My latest work, Rapture, marks the first time, in spite of numerous requests, that I've depicted an angel in one of my works. I didn't expect the feathers to be so much fun to create!
While the original is available for purchase, it is the first piece for my new 2010 exhibit at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery, so it cannot be delivered until after the exhibit ends July 22, 2010. But there are also limited edition Gallery and Studio prints as well as open edition Portfolio prints which are available at the Special First Day Price until Midnight ET tomorrow.

Yes, I have been invited (and accepted) to do another solo exhibit at the Lyman-Eyer Gallery in Provincetown MA.
The show will run from July 9th to July 22nd, 2010. I already have a theme in mind, of which Rapture is part of.
More details will follow. It may seem like a long time but I only have winter and spring, so I need to get busy on new pieces to fill up the gallery walls!

Warmest Wishes |
Growing up in northern New York State, just a few miles from the Canadian border, the holiday season always meant cold short days, snowmen, and hot cocoa... you know the stuff sung about in carols and brought to life in many a Christmas tale. But the good cheer that's so effervescent during this season isn't limited to just the snow belt, it's world wide!
The original of Warmest Wishes, as well as open edition Portfolio prints and only 25 limited edition Studio and Gallery prints each, are available for purchase at the Special First Day Price until Midnight ET tomorrow. Holiday greeting cards featuring this work will be available in a week or two.

Each room will be luxuriously appointed with 'skin'-tallating erotic works from over 100 artists from all over the world! I have been invited to showcase a few pieces and just hope I can get my works out there in time!

I got a blister and walked in the rain for hours during this year's 3-Day, 50-Mile Walk to raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. But it was worth it because our team raised over $6500! I want to give a big thank you from myself, my team and everyone living with MS, for your thoughts, well wishes, and certainly your donations. You are all extended members of our "Keep on Dancin'" team!
Yes, the 2009 walk just ended. But my teammates and I, including my friend Jenny who has MS, already signed up for next years walk! If you'd like to help us get a jump start on reaching our goal, you can make your donation here.

I am taking a loooooong walk for those who can't this September, to raise money and awareness to battle Multiple Sclerosis. I am walking 50 miles in the MS Challenge Walk to help those like my friend Jenny who suffers from this debilitating disease. I'm nearly halfway to my goal of $1500. If you can give just $5 or $10 (or more) we can really make a difference because it would be multiplied by the thousands who subscribe to my newsletter.
Please take a minute and make a donation to fight MS.

It's great whenever my work gets noticed, whether by an individual or an organization. It is really thrilling when it gets noticed outside of its genre. The publishers of the Best of Artists & Artisans art books have taken notice of a few of my works and wish to include them in their upcoming edition Best of America Pastel Artists. Along with the two pieces they requested, Vers la Vie Nocturne and Restraint: Caged, they also invited me to submit a few additional works for consideration. The publishers noted, Your subject matter would certainly be categorized as different for this kind of "Traditional" book but it is important for us to expand boundaries - your work is outstanding and again we're very honored to include you.

Okay, you're all probably tired of hearing about The Breathtaking Blue, but I want to say I had a wonderful time at the reception and am thrilled with its success! Thanks to everyone who came, making it a bigger turn out than last year. And thanks to my partner and friends for sharing the evening with me. While a new exhibit takes my place in the main room of the Lyman-Eyer gallery after tomorrow, many of my works will remain on display. So if you are in Provincetown any time, certainly stop by.
For those of you who were unable to attend, I created a little slideshow for you.

View from the Top |
Though I had not planned a series, my latest work View from the Top does make a good companion piece to Crave. Perhaps a few more 'sex acts' that are fully implicit without being explicit are in order. Stay tuned!
The original is on consignment with the Lyman-Eyer Gallery. While available for purchase, it will remain with the gallery through the end of my upcoming show, the Breathtaking Blue. Limited edition Gallery and Studio prints as well as open edition Portfolio prints are available for purchase at the Special First Day Price through Midnight ET tomorrow.

It's almost here! Yes it has been over half a year that I have been working on my upcoming exhibit, the Breathtaking Blue. It has been fun picking a theme and working it into several new pieces. Framing them and all the other work to make the show happen has been... well... maybe not as fun but an adventure and a good experience. As of today four of the originals in the show already have buyers, which is great and takes some stress off of me. But if you are attending (or not) and have your eye on a certain piece and don't want to miss out, you can contact the Lyman-Eyer gallery now to secure purchase of any remaining originals. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces and some new ones this Friday night.

Website Issues
|
The last couple of days we've been having a few problems with the website due to some hosting issues. Because of this, Mark has been researching alternative hosting options. As it stands, the site is now on a new server, and we've been assured that the problems we've been experiencing should be resolved. Our hosting company has asked that we reconsider staying with them, and their technical support have gone through a lot of trouble trying to resolve our issues. So we're putting them on probation until the end of July. Mark has told them if things stabilize now and remain stable until July 31st, then we'll stick with them. But if not, we now have the site set up at a new hosting company and will make the switch if necessary.

I'd also like to take a moment to highlight some of the new features of my site.
One of the features is the automatic Day of Release pricing. This will always be the lowest price for my originals and giclée prints, so the best time to buy is the day I release a work. And the easiest way to keep informed of that is to be on my newsletter mailing list.

I also really love the look of my new-and-improved e-cards. And with over 30 of my works to choose from, it's easy to find the perfect one to send to your sweetie, or your butt buddy.
Through the month of June, anyone can send free e-cards featuring my artwork. But starting in July, you will need to be a member of breyette.com to send e-cards. An account will not be needed to retrieve and read e-cards sent by breyette.com members.

I know the economy might not be so good, but artwork is always a great investment!
If you would like to own one of my originals, but simply don't have the funds, consider buying through my payment plan! It's very simple. I require a 20% non-refundable deposit to hold the work for your purchase. Then you have up to a year to pay off the remaining balance in monthly installments. I don't charge any extra "finance fees", so you don't end up paying anymore than you would if you bought an original with a single payment. As with the sale of all originals, a signed sales agreement is required.
Also, my payment plan isn't just for originals. Any order over $200 can be paid for over 3 months, over $500 can be paid over 6 months, and over $1000 can be paid over 12 months. So if you think you might be interested, contact me and I'll draw up a payment plan agreement for you.

La Dolce Vita |
Thank you to all who participated in naming my latestwork! With hundreds of titles submitted, I had plenty to choose from. Each was a wonderful example of all the different and insightful interpretations that can be made from one image. Ultimately though, I had to pick one. I sifted through and rated them on the general appeal of the title... how it rolls off the tongue, cleverness... I like titles if they can add or enhance the piece, and apropos... how well the title related to the scene. I finally decided on La Dolce Vita. It has a nice ring to it, the sweet life conjures nice warm feelings and it establishes the locale as Italian. Congrats to the winner! Your prize, a limited edition studio print, is on its way!

Eighteen of my works now appear on fine art greeting cards. Blank inside, these cards can be used for all kinds of occasions. June is Pride Month, so show your colors and send a message of solidarity with Freedom or Kiss Me Senator or convey simple thoughts like; miss you, love you, or get naked!
Individual cards are $3.25 each, five or more are $2.75 each, or grab a dozen or more at $2.25
each. You can mix and match for an assortment to always have on hand and not be running out to
the store at the last minute.

If you have ever made a purchase through my previous website, you have already earned this discount. To maintain it, simply make any purchase, of any amount, at least once every 180 days. New customers can earn this discount on future purchases by making a purchase of $50 or more, excluding s&h fees. Purchase one of my originals and you earn the discount for life!

Woo boy... a lot of news to start off the month!
New Website
I am really excited about a whole new look and new features for www.breyette.com!
- Leave blog style comments on news items or your favorite individual works
- 50% larger images for viewing
- Easier navigation
- Thumbnails in your shopping cart
- More browsing options, including low stock limited editions
- Fine art greeting cards of many of my popular works
Also, while updating the database we discovered a few limited edition prints that we thought were sold out.
These were apparently "spoken for" but never were paid for. These include
Jorge,
Carson, and my Summer Moved On book cover man
Soak!
More to come... Additional features will be unveiled later.
